Concentration of the cellular material in the nasopharyngeal swabs increases the clinical sensitivity of SARS-CoV2 RT-PCR

2020-11-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Severe acute respiratory syndrome - coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) is detected by a highly sensitive molecular method, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) samples collected in 2-3ml of viral transport medium (VTM). Unlike body fluids, NPS samples are undermined by high variability in the amount of cells that get suspended into the VTM. Hence, the cell...
